Help me build my next game!





I’m planning a new play thru of Fallout 3 and would like some advice on modding it. I know I've listed a lot of stuff, but there's so many great mods!

I’m going to be using the usual tools (GECK, FO3Edit, BOSS) and of course FOSE. Is NMM or FOMM the prefered mod manager for FO3 these days? Can anyone suggest others that might be useful?

I know there are a couple popular mods that I won’t be using because I’ve found them to be resource hogs or not to my liking In previous builds (EVE, ENB, and NMC Textures come to mind).

So on with the list!


Game interface/control improvements:
Adjustable HUD - aHUD
5X Faster Waiting
Advanced Recon Trap Detection
CASM - does this really work, or should I just keep using the console to make safe clean saves?
Directors Chair - Total Visual Control
DYNAVISION - Dynamic Depth of Field
Fake Fullscreen Mode Windowed - Alt Tab Fix - I'm running Win7 64bit on a medium powered machine
Fired Followers go to Tenpenny or Megaton
PersonalTerminal
Hacking terminals is easier - I HATE the mini games!
Unified HUD Project
Fallout Stutter Remove
Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch or Should i try Remastered?
The Pitt - Free Labor Fix - do I need this if UFP is installed?
Dynamic Weather
FXAA post process injector


I've heard the vanilla radios enough to karaoke the whole play list so I'm going to add at least these. What's the best GNR fix/improver mod?
Existence 2_0 - Robot Radio - loved this in New Vegas
On The Road Radio
X-1 Tales of Wonder - Radio Station

Perks, I love perks, lots of perks. What's the best level uncapper?

I find the vanilla companions mostly worthless at best and usually down right annoying, the game doesn't really seem
to have been designed for teams in the first place. I mostly just keep one or two better looking ones in the
player house as walking mannequins.:
CLOVER PERFECTED - Type 3
Follower Amata
Kelsey Companion
Kim The Blonde Follower
Kirina Shilo Type3 Companion WIP Dual Pack
Mothership Zeta Crew
Saving Nova


New quests, more things to do is more fun:
101 The Collector
Pitt Aftermath - Glorious Steel
Prisoners of the Underworld ENGLISH
AAT Phone Company
TERMINATOR Cybernetic Dawn
The Crimson Caravan v1_3 by Azar
The Institute - a fully voiced quest mod
The Mantis Imperative
Vault 101 Revisited
Wasteland Militia


Just some random stuff:
Ks Dynamic Sneak - sneak in vannila is way overpowered, and with the modded guns it's more so
Free Pumpkin
Tempenny Gate Destroyable
Vault-Tec Experimental Dimensional Safe
Vault-tec Storage room


I'd like to try these total remakes but I'm not sure. Anyone tried them?
Obscurum - Unnatural Selection
HEER a Total Conversion by Drew Piwek
Only the Dead Forgive by Askfor



I didn't post live links because I think it would be too big a post or otherwise break the forum rules. All of these mods are on the Fallout 3 NEXUS.

Thank's for taking a look, and I look forward to your advice.
